The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
Plainly one of the most potent in its class.
By Tony Swan, NewCarTestDrive.com
At its price, the 626 LX V6 stacks up as a lively sport sedan that's very tough to beat. So let's dissect that price a little bit.The basic 626 DX is indeed basic--any frills like a radio or air conditioning cost extra. Our LX V6, which was devoid of options, included air conditioning, an AM/FM/cassette sound system, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, cruise control, dual vanity mirrors and racy-looking 15-in. alloy wheels--not exactly rolling hedonism, but all the basic amenities. Missing, however, was an antilock brake system. The LX V6 does have disc brakes on all four wheels, and braking performance on dry pavement is distinctly above average. But we think ABS is an important safety feature in real four-season climates, and the 626 value story would be enhanced if it were standard equipment, rather than an $800 extra. Nevertheless, thanks to Mazda's efforts in the pricing realm the 626 LX V6 does represent a good value in a delightful small sport sedan. Its performance makes it a joy to drive, long hauls or short, back roads or mere commuting. The quality of its assembly and finish, handled right here in the USA, measure up well against benchmark cars like the Accord and Camry. And if it's not exactly a head-turner in the looks department, a test drive will reveal something that's already endeared a good many owners. It's a joy to drive. And if fun-to-drive is high on your list of priorities, we'll bet you'll want to take this one home with you. |

Overview:
|
Every time we drive a V6-powered Mazda 626 we emerge pleased and bewildered. The pleasure comes from the driving. The bewilderment concerns this car's relatively modest performance on the sales charts. Though it's neither the roomiest nor the most distinctive member of the vast midsize class, the 626 is one of the most gratifying to drive. It has the reflexes of a gunfighter, and Mazda's 160-hp 2.5-liter V6 engine--the same engine used in the Ford Probe GT sport coupe--lends real zeal to forward progress, especially when it's allied with the precise 5-speed manual transmission. But as hot as it is on the street, the 626's showroom performance qualifies as lukewarm. So what's the problem? Subdued styling? Sticker shock? To renew our acquaintance with this nifty middleweight contender, we selected an LX model, which falls in the middle of the 626 model range, with the V6 engine and standard 5-speed transmission.
